Dyads can be seen with valid health cards and with a referral for the breastfeeding infant directed to:

DR. POOJA PRABHU

MD, FAAP, IBCLC

Please fax referrals to 905-303-3035

We believe that the breastfeeding dyad is a unit, so we evaluate and advise on problems that arise and affect either member of the breastfeeding dyad – parent or infant.

Common breastfeeding concerns:

• Learning when your baby is drinking from the breast.
• Breastfeeding premature babies, multiples, twins
• Nipple pain or breast pain, getting a pain free latch!
• Making your feeding sessions more efficient
• Block ducts, blebs, mastitis
• Slow weight gain
• Baby fussing at the breast: pulling off, biting , arching or refusing to latch.
• Is your baby gassy? Colicky?
• Non-latching baby
• Low milk supply or oversupply
• Breastfeeding after breast augmentation or breast reduction
• Supplementing, finding the right method to protect your breastfeeding relationship
• Pumping when returning to work
• Relactation and induction of Lactation without pregnancy (same sex parents, surrogacy or adoption)
• Prenatal appointments
• Assessment of Tethered Oral Tissues (Tongue Ties/ Lip Ties)
